More quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don’t think being sad is to be avoided. It’s apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that’s sadistic of me.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.

There seems to be a notion in Hollywood that if you want to make money, you have to sacrifice doing good work with integrity. And I think that's bullshit. I think that's an excuse, and it's what people say who are scared that they can't do good work.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If the inspiration is genuine and it's coming from the right place, that's what I like and want to be a part of.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think Hollywood, as it's been, will have to change because the model of Hollywood is we'll make this content, and you guys buy it, but I don't think that's the future.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I was such a big Dustin Hoffman fan when I was young.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Even when I was really young, I hated doing commercials, because I would say, That's not real acting. And it's not. It's embarrassing what they make little kids do in commercials.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
But I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I was studying for the SAT's and learning lines.

The doctor's wife ate two apples a day, just to be safe. But her husband kept coming home.

I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Making little videos that you know are going to be on tiny windows is a whole different thing. I don't know what it's going to lead to necessarily, but it's certainly fun.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
